Honda City 2009

Is Saturday again.. which means I don't have to go to work... Well I got an invitation to test drive the new 2009 Honda City from a Honda dealer. So I decide to go today at a branch at Klang town nearby Jusco. The crowd wasn't that great.. it was OK..

Well they have 2 display car, one is S spec and another is E spec. E spec being having more juicy stuff, it got all the center attention compare to the S spec which I know why.. you will too when you see the picture I be posting.

Let start with the dull S spec...


This is the S spec. Looks futuristic and like Transformer. I got confuse with the Alphabet that they use for differentiate the spec. I thought S spec should be better than compare to E.. well...

This is the side view of the 15" ugly rim of the S Spec

Corner view of the car. Looks good but forgive me display poor quality picture.. using camera phone.

This is the E spec with Modulo body kit. Looks damn good especially in black!

16" rim come default with E spec but this is not the design. This is the Modulo rim. You gotta top up another RM2400 for that which I think not work it as you can get a good pair of 17" deep dish which look better.

The rear view with the Modulo kit with finishing tailpipe. The car look fine without the kit as well but it always an extra but it gonna you RM4750 for it. I guess you can always go to any body kit custom shop to get it done , with that money you can even buy a set of rims as well.

Side mirror with signal indicator. Something common you can find on cars. Either you get it OEM or from Brothers tuner. kekeke

The all new 1.5 i-VTEC engine. Is the same engine for S and E spec. There is no 1.3 version available simply I guess the car will be underpowered. Well the engine look intake and solid build and there is still plenty of space in the engine bay. For people who like more horsie can opt for force induction which I believe there will be LPT kit release soon. Powertrain wise, they no longer offer CVT gearbox but a 5 speed auto transmission as it has been for most Honda model. The E spec comes with paddle shift. Not sure how much people will use it. I am still not sure what is the fuel consumption like but presume it should equivalent as there what the people want.

There are quite number of differences between E and S spec. You can check on Honda offical website. I can list the price for you.

E Spec OTR RM 84,980.00
S Spec OTR RM 89,990.00

Modulo Kit RM 4750.00
Modulo 16" rim RM 2400 ( not official price)
